Position of Neutrality: Navigating Difficult Truths in Steps 8 & 9 AA Should You Keep Secrets From Your Partner ?
About this episode
Join Joe McDonald as he delves deeper into Steps 8 and 9 of Alcoholics Anonymous, addressing one of the most delicate questions during the amends process: If we’re sure our wife or loved one does not know about a past action, should we still tell them? Joe discusses the careful balance required in making amends and the importance of being honest without causing unnecessary harm.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, we are taught that the process of making amends should come from a place of sincerity, and with careful consideration of the impact on others. Joe highlights how the Big Book guides us through these difficult decisions and provides insight into when full disclosure is necessary and when it might cause more harm than good. The focus is on taking the right actions for healing without selfish motives, aligning our recovery with spiritual growth.
